One last time maybe?

Mon the Sammo!

93rd minute winner to all but confirm Alloa's playoff spot. Sixteenth of the season; only McGoldrick at Derby has outscored him among the Irish players in Britain this season I think. Which says a lot about our forward options at the moment

It doesn't really as the lad is playing at a level that's lower than the National League and even the LOI Premier Division.

I find it bemusing that I was a UCD student for 7 years and had left for 3 years before his career even started and now he's 36.. this is depressing..

It also says a lot that my favourite season watching ucd was the year Derek Swan came in.:(

Sammon has had a very interesting career. If he wrote a book about it, I would buy it for sure.. niche audience perhaps..

Another two today; 18 for the season

Confirms their playoff space as well

Finishes with 19 for the season, his best ever tally in one season.

But no promotion after a playoff which rivalled Peterborough v Sheffield Wednesday and Notts County's two Conference ties for ups and downs. They'd beaten Hamilton 1-0 at home in the first leg - a good result as Alloa are mostly part-time (Sammo is one of 4/5 pros I think) and Hamilton are full-time. In the away leg, Sammon put them 1-0 up after five minutes, but they then had a defender go off injured - and his replacement went off injured ten minutes later. Then they had a defender sent off - all inside the first 25 minutes.

No bothers to them though - Sammo broke forward and was fouled one-on-one by the Hamilton keeper for a penalty. But the keeper saved the penalty, only for the taker to score the rebound, and Alloa were 3-0 up on aggregate after 30 minutes.

But by half-time, they were 4-3 down, including two goals in injury time. A fifth on 52 ended things, and Alloa remain in the third tier for another season.

Sammo is out of contract but hoping to stay on for another year (https://www.alloaadvertiser.com/sport/23525259.sammon-proud-season/).

We go again! :D

First of the new season in the League Cup this evening. Still at Alloa.

Scores away to Motherwell in the Scottish Cup 4th round.

Two for Sammo on the last day as Alloa go 2-0 up away to his former club Falkirk, who are looking to go through the season unbeaten.

Falkirk replied with one immediately so it's 2-1 now. Alloa still have the play-offs to come; Sammo's up to ten for the season.

38 in November you feel this may be his final season.

In what could be his last senior game, he's scored for ten-man Alloa to make it 4-4 against Hamilton Accies in the League One play-offs - 2-2 draw at home in midweek, and it's 2-2 now with 20 to go.

11 for the season - not bad given he's only had 12 starts.

Maybe his last haul.

Time to head for shore.

[Eminence Grise]

If he retires he'll have lots of time on his hands - hope he knows how to fillet.

[CraftyToePoke]

Lot of League of Ireland clubs casting about for strikers.
